-<dt>Token</dt>
-<dd><p>A token is a physical instantiation of an object, such as a certificate
-or a key, stored in a phone. Each token belongs to a group of tokens called
-a token type. For example, an X.509 certificate is a token which belongs to
-the X.509 token type. </p> </dd>

-<dlentry>
-<dt>Key</dt>
-<dd><p>A cryptography key is a constant value applied using a cryptographic
-algorithm to encrypt text or to decrypt encrypted text. </p> <p>Keys are classified
-as symmetric and asymmetric based on the type of algorithm applied. If the
-same key is used for both encryption and decryption, it is symmetric. If different
-keys are used for encryption and decryption, they are asymmetric. Asymmetric
-keys exist in the form of a public and private key pair, where the public
-key is used for encryption and the private key is used for decryption. </p> </dd>

-<dt>Certificate</dt>
-<dd><p>A certificate (or Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate) is an
-electronic document that binds an identity to a public key. It is used to
-authenticate public keys. </p> <p>Certificates are issued by a certification
-authority (CA) and usually include information such as a label, serial number,
-validity period, certificate format (for example, X.509) and algorithm type
-(for example, RSA). </p> </dd>
